Cover by Gladys Parker. Stories and art by Gladys Parker, Fred Neher and Phyl Carroll. One of the first female-centric comic strips, by pioneering female artist Gladys Parker, Mopsy combines an Ever Meulen art style with pantomime-style gags and good-girl art. Mopsy gets a job as a "car hop" hoping to be discovered by a talent agent, in a story featuring lots of good-girl art. She succeeds in getting a screen test, but the part isn't what she's expecting. The backup strip, Fred Neher's Some Punkins, is a one-panel gag strip that also features good-girl art. Monkey Suit Magic; Mopsy; Some Punkins; Mopsy's Contest. 36 pages, Full Color. Cover price $0.10.
